This print shows a famous violinist onstage in 1831 London. Thomas McLean printed it in black ink on paper. The scene is set for a big debut. It captures the moment Nicolò Paganini played with top musicians. A conductor stands to the right. The group includes a cellist and a double bass player. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
